zero chances, we've done nothing of use this half with all the possession. it's useless

we need creativity. entire midfield sucks ass

Thought you wanted Xhaka in there.

xhaka was average at best leading up to that stupid mistake. i wanted him for other reasons, he's not the creative one. i'll be the first to admit his mistake was disgustingly infuriating

Don't agree with that, he's shown for the ball a lot.

Passenger is the wrong word, he's working hard but his passing has been off.

Disagree with that too. Doozy has been solid without being particularly effective. Although he did a bloody brilliant ball to the feet of the forward (couldn't tell who) past two of their players.

He's the only player though showing some imagination even with that inconsistent execution. Our attacking play is too dependant on hustle, it gets chaotic and isn't sustainable.

I think he's better deep. Give him Xhaka role and bring Ceballos on, we need incisive passing

By the way I'm fucking sick of concede a pen to Son. Cant our players just stay on their fucking feet.

Laca goal was excellent. Phenomenal touches and then a finish to boot. Proper big game player

Clrnc

Get Willock on for Xhaka and go for it

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Law, Wenger and Gazidis cursed this club for many years with the Xhaka and Mustafi signings.

Unforgivable.

Lamela and Rose are reds waiting to happen, we need to run at them.

I like our shape, but the fact is Sokratis and Luiz needs more protection than this midfield trio can provide.

Xhaka should not be on the field. He's killing us.

Lacazette was hamstringing us badly throughout, but that goal was outstanding. Aubameyang has been superb on the left wing.

All told, I'm really pleased to see we're being brave and pushing people up the field, but I don't think our pressing is affording the centrebacks the protection they need (because they're not top drawer). It's playing with fire to keep it like this, but if he's brave enough to take Xhaka off, it could work.

agree... we need someone to create some chances for them. laca is dropping back because he has noone supplying anything.

we have no good consistency with our attacks, toothless. move tor to dedicated cdm, swap doozi and xhaka for someone else

They're crap, but our centrebacks have a history of being overly aggressive, even when it's clear they should stand off. Feels like they're instructed to play that way.

When we return from this short break, I would like to see Xhaka and Luiz given a short rest with Chambers (or Holding) and Willock/Ceballos brought in for the Watford game. We cannot afford to be throwing away goals. We are headed for anther 50 goal season.

No, they didn't. We've chosen to keep those players, Gazidis and Wenger aren't here to take the blame.

second half... let's go

Yeah, but tbh it's because we play a line up where he needs to play an expansive game. In a normal world all he should do is get the ball and give it to the more creative midfielder

Agree with that. He's got a good pass in him too but he's tryi g to force it too much.

Yeah, we have about midfielders who can fill in instead of xhaka

Harsh on 12 year olds.

We've tried to shift Mustafi at least in every window since.

Xhaka has nudes of all his superiors.

"chosen" is debatable.
